Default how much ???

Just called Sky for a quote on getting Sky +

I currently subscribe to Family package at £ 21

I'm told that new subscribers can have Sky+ box for £ 89 but as I'm an
existing
customer I have to pay £ 250 unless I go for multiroom

Even then Sky+ multiroom would cost me £ 99 and £ 20 per month on top

So loyalty to sky gets you nothing?

Anyone know, can I go for full package Sky+ multiroom so I only pay £ 10
mnth extra
and then reduce my subscription down after month1 back to family in the hope
the £ 10 month remains?
or will Sky raise the extra back to £ 20 ?

Any other ideas to get Sky+ as cheap as new subscribers?

dont think its 5 years but yes they can, try cancelling in your name give it
six months and get someone else in the household to subscribe in a different
name if you have someone else there who has a different name.
